Description Heiko Tietze 2023-06-06 07:07:30 UTC
"Clear recent documents" and "Clear unavailable files" remove all files or the currently not available, respectively. Since pinned documents are supposed to persist for some time it's likely that users want to keep them.

Removing pinned documents needs to be done either on the item itself or by unpinning first.
